First of all, I'd like to introduce you all to a new way for the members of the Northstar Newfoundland Club to communicate with one another, "Newflink." This email will reach all of our club members who have a working email address (assuming they have put it on their application materials). I will use it from time to time to forward items such as the newsletter below from the Newfoundland Club of America that is specifically addressed to us as regional club members. Also, I want to remind you all that Responsible Dog Owners Day is tomorrow in Lake Elmo (see the flyer at: http://www.scvkc.org/PDF/RDOD_2012_flyer.pdf) and our next club meeting is at the home of Duane and Susie Manke next Saturday, September 15, starting at noon. I hope to see you there! Chris Plum Northstar Newfoundland Club 5452 Kimberly Rd Minnetonka, MN 55345 From: The Newfoundland Club of America, Inc.

Please share with your respective groups. Regional Club Contacts - please share this information with your Regional Club Board and newsletter editor and webmaster. A reminder that agenda items are due the first Thursday of the month - Committee Chairs should send agenda items to <mailto:ncabod2ndvp@live.com> Lynne Anderson-Powell and Regional Clubs should contact <mailto:pamelar@garlic.com> Pam Rubio NCA Board Agenda Read the Agendas Online <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001W-asROV6CLLnPUAIpB0Wms5pEQkirNoniArMagjjbRJ4 OIOEoZRdBEr81K_l3vYbmy5S2urkBKhkXpQKYR5DV3uQG9z6hwHqSHF9yRlP_1VBqd30Ga3pffeN JillnekqX2wJeiIMePo=> Committees and Regional Clubs should submit agenda items for the monthly NCA Board teleconference by the 1st Thursday of each month. Regional Clubs can submit items to Pam Rubio, Regional Club liaison <mailto:pamelar@garlic.com> Committees can submit agenda items via Pam Saunders, Committee liaison. <mailto:pssaunders@live.com> e-Notes Archived Back Issues Available Online <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001W-asROV6CLINLYfsyUwn_pD5HnqFc9k4JOzrc4aZntpr qULCxL8-NR3cwsOSM2EJwC1U0-x8_NCIdG7WQ2GA1zn-8Q5blz99i7jzWQZqqoMsmw9CRPmswAIb SGQ5Q3t0BbTruFkDNJAhXeTk-xpP_2LYqwa8s45Sn1GclfH2jZEE7iGzHLDlHBkpr5kTa-q5jiAN 6bwwRT0=> Right now the circulation for NCA e-Notes is over 2500 subscribers. Approximately 1200 are NCA members and the rest are Newfoundland breed fanciers from around the world. Do you have information you would like to share? Feedback you would like to gather or an event you would like to promote? Regional Clubs and Committees are invited and encouraged to submit items to be published in e-Notes. Most articles are short (1 paragraph or less) but can easily be linked to a longer article on a web page. Images can be included as well. Typically mention in e-notes generates several hundred "clicks" to the articles they link to, providing lots of information to many people about our beloved breed. e-Notes is published every month by the NCA, with layout and draft work occurring the third weekend of the month. In order to expedite your submissions, please send proposed articles to Marylou Zimmerman <mailto:marylouz@marylouz.com> by the first Thursday of each month. This will allow for images to be optimized and any accompanying web content to be created in order to send a fully functional draft to the NCA Board in a timely fashion to allow public distribution of the newsletters during the last week of the month. If you miss a deadline do not be concerned, your information will be held over and included in the next issue. Newf Tide Quarterly Printed Publication of the NCA Submission Reminders for Regional Clubs Coverage of working tests and regional specialties should be submitted by the deadline immediately following the event. Newf Tide deadlines are January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Unless permission is obtained from the editor prior to any delay, the article will be printed only on a space available basis. Items should be sent to Maredith Reggie, Newf Tide editor <mailto:newfpages@aol.com> . Regional clubs are allotted two quarter-page ads at no charge each calendar year to promote their activities. If your specialty or working event has a theme, contact the editor to have the theme included with the event information in the calendar. More information about Newf Tide submissions for Regional Clubs is available online. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001W-asROV6CLJn7z9BJEjoyKeTkKI3H7-ONPwfR58cavnJ 9Xl2qpC6oZ42w9aN5Io1y65rDuBvD1nLB04G831Qs9nXzZtucNH2Onxs8-O5bzpQtFZkloDTelA0 CUtMrv4ZuS7HOAKI-aIQGGzt5Fiq54k2yqp_fFonn2df1I3i7YM=> Committees wishing to submit articles to Newf Tide should follow the same deadlines of January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1.

We would encourage clubs to post all public events online to encourage new members and fanciers to attend. Some examples include Supported entries, picnics, training sessions and seminars and rescue open houses. Each Regional Club has been provided with a login and password, if you need to obtain this information, please contact Marylou Zimmerman <mailto:marylouz@marylouz.com> . Committees may also post events and reminders online- currently the Working Dog Committee posts all Water and Draft Tests as they are approved. The Specialty Show Committee posts Regional Specialties, JEC posts Judges Education Seminars and Newf Tide Policy Committee posts deadlines for submission and other pertinent publication dates. If your committee has events they would like posted online please contact Marylou Zimmerman <mailto:marylouz@marylouz.com> for login details. You can also check the online calendar for dates of Board teleconferences, face-to-face meetings, agenda deadlines and other important dates. Please remember that we want to hear from you. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome as we work together to make the NCA an organization we can all be proud of. Let us know what your club and committee are doing and what we can do to help. <mailto:ncabod2ndvp@live.com> Lynne Anderson-Powell Pam Rubio <mailto:pamelar@garlic.com> Committee Liaison Regional Club Liaison Newfoundland Club of America <http://www.ncanewfs.org/images/ncalogo2.jpg> <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&mse=001dkaXUUk6sOArGMCOgxs68MKVd ilf6fCQ&t=001NhJPy-J6g0Vt5ofab_17Eg%3D%3D&lang=001FCSs65SMrsI%3D&reason=001y 5KaVlBn7_Y%3D&llr=ql5jxfcab> <http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=news09> This email was sent to christopher.n.plum@gmail.com by ncaenotes@ncadogs.org | Update Profile/Email Address <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=oo&mse=001dkaXUUk6sOArGMCOgxs68MKVd ilf6fCQ&t=001NhJPy-J6g0Vt5ofab_17Eg%3D%3D&lang=001FCSs65SMrsI%3D&reason=001y 5KaVlBn7_Y%3D&llr=ql5jxfcab> | Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&mse=001dkaXUUk6sOArGMCOgxs68MKVd ilf6fCQ&t=001NhJPy-J6g0Vt5ofab_17Eg%3D%3D&lang=001FCSs65SMrsI%3D&reason=001y 5KaVlBn7_Y%3D&llr=ql5jxfcab> T | Privacy Policy <http://ui.constantcontact.com/roving/CCPrivacyPolicy.jsp> .
